Description

<div>It is the dream trail par excellence: the Alpine crossing from Munich to Venice. In 29 exciting stages, it goes from pretzels and beer to pizza and vino. The Rother hiking guide "Alpenüberquerung München - Venedig" provides all the important information and descriptions.</div><div><br></div><div>The route begins in the heart of Munich and leads along the Isar into the mountains. One highlight is the crossing of the main Alpine ridge between the glaciated peaks of the Zillertal Alps. Afterwards, the majestic Dolomites await with their southern charm. The wild Schiara is conquered in a final feat of strength with a via ferrata before the route ends comfy in the Venetian plain towards the sea. After 29 stages on meadow paths, rocky climbs, embrasures, peaks and along lakes, the sand crunches under your feet on the Adriatic and you finally reach your destination of "Venice" at St. Mark's Square! Those who make it there will not only have 555 kilometers and over 22,000 meters of ascent on their backs, but also a backpack full of unforgettable impressions and encounters.</div><div><br></div><div>The authors Vera Biehl, Stephan Baur and Dirk Steuerwald present the Alpine crossing in a lively and detailed way: detailed route descriptions and hiking maps as well as informative altitude profiles make it easier to find your way along the way, as do the GPS tracks, which are available for download. Many variants, e.g. for bad weather days, precise information on transport connections, refreshments, shopping and all accommodation along the way simplify preparation and daily planning. Another practical feature is the division of the entire route into five excellent sections, which makes it easier to walk individual sections. Magnificent pictures whet the appetite for the adventure of crossing the Alps as you leaf through the hiking guide.</div><div><br></div>
